White women are under-represented in American abortion statistics, as they generally have better access to family planning education & methods than other ethnic groups
Clarence Thomas signalled the right to contraception is next after RoeVsWade npr.org/2022/05/11/109…
Full 3 ways of increasing the numbers of white babies being born in American proposed by Ben Wattenberg in "The Birth Dearth", as described by Jane Elliott in that video
The road to Gilead is paved with people telling women not to over-react to #RoeVsWade being overturned.
btw source of the clip of Jane Elliott talking about "The Birth Dearth" is a James Causey interview with her for Black Nouveau on Milwaukee PBS in 2017
It's from part 3. Whole thing is well worth a watch.
She sees very clearly.
for completeness: The book Jane Elliot is referring to is 1987 "The Birth Dearth: What Happens When People In Free Countries Don't Have Enough Babies" by Ben Wattenberg
Can find it in the @internetarchive archive.org/details/birthd… or yr local library, if it has a hateful section
Lots of women have had helpful abortions that changed their lives for the better by giving them control #HerBodyHerChoice
I have had:
1 miscarriage after not knowing I was pregnant,
1 contraceptive failure termination in a bad time & place,
+ 1 full term pregnancy
Due to my mental health instability until midlife, I would not have been a good parent to either of the first potential people I made, but by the last one, I was so ready & we're doing well.
Obviously as ~1/5 of conceptions end in miscarriage naturally there may have been others
First known:
I had IUD (coil) contraception in place
Turns out I was >16wks unwittingly pregnant when I miscarried. Ectopic.
No idea I had conceived at all. No emotional connection at all, no sense of change to my body.
Only realised I was pregnant after I haemorrhaged it out
Olivia Rodrigo and Billy Eilish giving the finger to all the Supreme Court Judges and then singing "Fuck You Very Much" to 10K+ people all is just a very special moment, Glastonbury 😲❤️♀️💪
And Greta Thunberg at Glastonbury speaks for the planet
& Nature
& those displaced by the Climate Crisis
& the young people who will inherit the mess that the rich countries & people of the world have created
the systems that allow it
Glastonbury proving once more that it is the cultural smorgasbord of Britain.
It's ok to like Crowded House *and* Idles, you know?
And everything in between & over the other side.
Music is love & life & hope & joy & rage & comfort & more
